Questions Regarding Motivation for Adopting and Intentions
Who is this dog for?	Jim and Pat Knott
Why do you want a Pembroke?	We love corgis. We have had 2 Pembroke Welsh Corgis as members of our family. First, we raised, trained, and loved a corgi puppy. He was smart, observant, active, stubborn, loving, fun, snuggly, and always thinking he was in charge. He passed away at age 12. Then we adopted a stray rescued corgi. He was about 3 years old when he came into our family. He was all the things that we knew from our first corgi, but a little quieter and not quite as smart. He passed away at about age 13. They were both beautiful dogs with sparkling eyes and big smiles. We miss each of them and can't wait for the opportunity to experience the fun and love of a corgi again. Before we got our first corgi, we definitely researched the breed and followed the corgi rule that "if you don't give a corgi something to do, he/she will pick something . . . . and it might not be something you like" so teach, practice, use positive reinforcement, loved, enjoy, and be their alpha.
Activities planned with Pembroke:	We have enjoyed walking, retrieving balls, catching balls, obedience classes, practicing commands and skills, socializing with other people and dogs that we are comfortable with. We have taken our corgis to new places – beaches, parks, new towns. Grooming, petting, and snuggling are also important to us and them.

Vet contact info:
Will handle mistakes Pembroke makes like this:	We would hope to have an idea if the dog would be a mistake before we take him/her home. If we run into troubles when we are working on our routines for normal life, we would work with a trainer and practice at home using established commands and positive reinforcement. If we continue to have problems, we would contact you to review the possibilities.
Discipline:	We practice commands with consistent use of words and hand signals. We use positive reinforcement with voice and rewards, usually a treat.
Where would Pembroke spend the majority of the time:	Our dogs spend most of their time in the house, wherever we are. They also have a quiet sleeping spot in a crate where they can go for time away (although I don't remember our dogs needed time away.) We usually take them outside with us when we are working or spending time in the yard, when it is not too hot or cold. We walk with our dogs in the neighborhood most often, but also go other places for a longer walk. We have never left them outside alone.
